It was built as part of the Nam-myeon Basic Living Base Creation Project, with a project cost of 4 billion KRW including county funds. The Jangseong branch of the Korea Rural Community Corporation was commissioned to construct it.

Notably, the space was arranged to specialize in enhancing residents' welfare, communication, and exchange activation.

First, the community plaza covers an area of 6,720㎡ (about 2,000 pyeong) and is suitable for various cultural and sports events, residents' gatherings, and leisure activities. It consists of 47 parking spaces, rest areas, gardens, and a multipurpose yard.

The exchange yard includes a lawn yard, parking lot, and outdoor sports facilities, created to promote urban-rural exchange. The plan is to gradually increase its utilization in the future.

Inside the cultural center, there are a multipurpose auditorium, health care room, club rooms, shower rooms, and an outdoor terrace. Various programs are operated to improve the quality of life for residents.

There were quite a few twists and turns before the Nam-myeon Cultural Center was completed. Jangseong-gun held several steering committee meetings to establish the project plan because part of the site was designated as a development-restricted zone.

They also focused on enhancing the completeness of the project plan by receiving expert advice from Jeollanam-do and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. As a result, construction began in September last year and was completed on this day.

Governor Kim Han-jong said, “I hope the Nam-myeon Cultural Center, built with the wishes of the residents, will become a precious communication and cultural space that serves as the center of residents' harmony.”
